Get Recipe

You can easily make this in advance and then just simply stick in the oven to bake prior to serving. It also freezes perfectly, too. Just let it thaw, and then bake and serve.

Ingredients

▢2 medium eggplantsEggplant Parmesan in a white plate with fresh marinara sauce.

▢2 cups all-purpose flour

▢vegetable oil for frying, or heat your deep fryer

▢6 large eggs

▢2 cups Parmesan cheese grated

▢1 tbsp flat-leaf parsley fresh, chopped

▢½ tsp Kosher salt

▢4 cups homemade marinara sauce or jarred spaghetti sauce

▢3 cups mozzarella cheese fresh, sliced, or grated



Instructions

  1. Prepare the marinara sauce (can be done up to 2 days in advance)

  2. Cut the ends off the eggplant and discard them. Cut each eggplant into 1/4-inch round slices and sprinkle salt over each of the rounds.

  3. Place in a colander for 30 to 40 minutes.

  4. Rinse eggplant rounds under cool water to remove salt. Dry with paper towels.

  5. Meanwhile, spread the flour out on a large platter.

  6. Coat each slice of eggplant with flour and shake off excess. Set aside.

  7. Next, in a deep, heavy saucepan, heat the oil to 350°F, or heat your deep fryer to 350°F. (If you don't have a deep-frying thermometer, the oil will be hot enough when it creates a sheen, and a small piece of bread sizzles when tossed in the oil.)

  8. In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs together with ½ cup of the grated Parmesan cheese, the parsley, and the salt.

  9. Dip the eggplant, a slice at a time, in the egg mixture and let any excess drip off.

  10. Deep-fry the eggplant slices, 3 to 4 at a time, for about 3 minutes, or until they are golden brown and tender.

  11. Remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain and cool.

  12. Pre-heat oven to 350°F.

  13. Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce over the bottom of a large baking dish.

  14. Arrange a layer of eggplant slices over the sauce (they can slightly overlap, if necessary).

  15. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce over the eggplant.

  16. Sprinkle ½ cup of the mozzarella and 1 tablespoon of the Parmesan cheese over the sauce.

  17. Repeat, layer the eggplant, marinara sauce, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese to top the pan.

  18. End with a layer of eggplant and about ¼ cup marinara sauce spread over the top of it.

  19. Sprinkle a good handful of Parmesan cheese on top of the sauce.

  20. Bake the eggplant for about 50 minutes, or until bubbly and lightly browned on top (you can place under the broiler for a minute or so to brown the cheese, also). 

  21. Let the pan sit for 30 to 40 minutes until cool enough to serve.

  22. Cut into slices and serve with warm marinara sauce and grated Parmesan on the side.

  23. Enjoy!

Seafood green onion pancake

 Seafood green onion pancake maangchi’s recipe Some tips when making these pancakes: • For a vegetarian version, skip the seafood and egg and use vegetable stock. • The batter should be runny, because thick batter will clump when you cook it and your pancake won’t turn out well. • While cooking, press down and poke the pancake to make some gaps in between the green onions. You should see some steam coming up through the gaps, that means the green onions are being cooked nicely. • This pancake is too heavy to toss up and flip, so don’t try it! You’ll need a big spatula to turn it over. • Be sure to make the dipping sauce, that’s the best way to enjoy it! Ingredients   Serves 2 • ½ cup all-purpose flour • 1 tablespoon potato starch(corn starch) • ½ teaspoon kosher salt plus a pinch of salt • a pinch of ground black pepper • ¾ cup stock (anchovy kelp stock, chicken stock or vegetable stock), or water • 4 tablespoons vegetable oil • 12 green onions, roots and tops trimmed to 8 to ...
